Procurement Officer Imports & Logistics, Finance Department

Juliah Wamuyu Mwangi

“I love my job as every day is a learning experience for me. I joined Highlands as an Office assistant in August, 2006. I left the company for a while and later rejoined in May 2010 as an Administrative secretary. Currently, I am the Procurement officer in charge of imports and outbound/inbound logistics which involve interacting with different global suppliers, keeping up to date with the customs due to tariff and rules changes in the import/export sector in the country, procurement process management and co-ordination of export orders to the East African region. I have gained various skills including people management, analytical and problem solving skills among others. My most memorable experience is when I managed to resolve a shipment issue that would have costed the company millions with the help of my boss at the time. The freedom to resolve work related matters without interference from my immediate supervisor unless need be brings out the best in me.”

“I joined Highlands on 18th December in the year 2005 as a Casual Worker. Currently, I am the Production Supervisor managing the Casual Workers as they conduct the ongoing production at the plant depending on the Day or Night shift. Over the years I have held three positions: A cleaner, Operator and Welfare Manager. At Highlands, I enjoy the teamwork spirit exuded especially between the CEO and the production team, making sure we deliver quality beverage products to our esteemed consumers. Challenges are a common facet in any business. It’s these challenges that have shaped me in gaining seamless planning and problem-solving skills. I have also gained social skills as I have interacted and worked with people from varied backgrounds. They say, “experience is the best teacher”; At Highlands, I have had the pleasant experience of operating production machines and I can now operate some of them confidently. The year 2014, remains my most memorable moment as that’s the year Club Soda, a Carbonated Soft Drink was launched and introduced into the market. This has added immense value to my professional and personal development as well as increased our company’s product offering and value as a whole. ”
